Kelly McNamee has been named to the HVWAC All-Conference team for the first time in her career.  The sophomore guard was a key contributor off the bench for the Lady Bears and finished fourth in scoring with a career-high 7.9 points per game.  She eclipsed 20 points in a game twice this season, for the first two times in her career.  A gifted shooter, McNamee led the Lady Bears in field goal percentage (48.3%), three-point field goal percentage (35.0%) and free-throw percentage (82.1%) and dished out 2.0 assists per game, second on the team.
